Love the rieslings, been a big fan of German rieslings (specifically Mosells) for a little while now

The plan would be to design a wine to go with every food dish known to man, that would be quite a plan

Hi Gary,
I am a big Riesling fan and I appreciate this Riesling special!
It is not correct to say that the Kabinett from Bühl is sweeter than a Kabinett normally is. There are a lot of German Kabinetts that are off dry to med sweet especially with an alcohol content that low.
Keep going on as I keep on making my way through the entire achieve, Konst

love Love LOVE riesling - glad to see this episode. Actually, Riesling and Sauterne were the two bottlings that really got me geeked on wine. I have found that spending a little more ($20-40 range) provides some AMAZING German riesling experiences.

Thanks for the episode. As far as white wines go, my wife and I love the Reislings. We had a nice 2005 Gunderloch “Jean Baptiste” Reisling on our anniversary in Hawaii a couple weeks ago.

QOTD: To do work I love so that I can spend time doing the things I love with the woman I love for as long as I can. Sappy. I know.

Gary, I thought the Schoffit Reisling was great also, it seems more serious than the Germans in this price range(drier with more viscosity). I wish we could have come up to meet you in S.F. but that is my busiest time of the year on the farm,next time for sure. QOTD answer is enjoy raising my two kids, grow better grapes than my neighbors,stay married and keep on rockin, how’s that for a cliche.

Gary, I know I owe you a photo, I just want to make sure it’s a good one - it was going to be a kilted version last week but I forgot the wristband. I took it to Nice at the weekend but forgot to get it out of my bag. My bad, I’ll get there - be patient.

QOTD. The plan - work, earn more money, buy more & better wine, stop work, drink more & better wine.

My plan is to buy a bigger wine rack for my basement - I need to get organized down there!
Gary - the gourmet section of the store is great - you’re now a 1-stop party shop! (I’ve had several “all WL” parties - a few with just myself)

Mr. Ambassador
Living in the northwest I’ve tried several different rieslings as it is purported to grow well in areas of Washington State. I was impressed with the “Eroica” collaboration between Chateau Ste. Michelle and Dr. Loosen, though a much better value (as I found out through ordering at Wine Library) is the Loosen Bros. riesling which was available here!

The Loosen Bros. wine was a big hit with those I work with and all who had attended our tour and tasting at Chateau Ste. Michelle (as they had some additional background on Loosen).

Plan is to keep on tasting and gain the knowledge; every new wine sampled is an experience and the more I’m exposed to winemaking and tasting the more I learn.

Thanks and keep up the good work!

Appreicate the riesling episode. Couple years ago when I was just getting into wines took a trip to the Finger Lakes and now riesling is a conerstone of my white wine cellar. QOTD: Probably just to drink more and different wines and play more golf. Lacking a little bit in both.

What’s the plan? Oh, there’s a plan alright. Big plan. Serious plan. Dangerous plan. There are things about me you wouldn’t know, you couldn’t know….you shouldn’t know.

Stay way from those low alchohol Rieslings. They are almost always too SWEET!

I’m a huge riesling fan. Everyone should look up an earlier episode (216) where GV tasted Hermann J Weimer from the finger lakes. It’s one of my top 5 wines of all time. Served it at my wedding. Get it.

QOTD: Establish a ground game in the 1st to open up the play action.
